Noweb – A Simple, Extensible Tool for Literate Programming
Literate Programming is one of those ideas I keep coming to. There is an idea there that touches on something I find to be true about software development, namely that the communication of an idea to other humans is the most critical piece. There is a similar idea in Naur's paper "Programming as Theory Building."
That said, I've never loved the LaTeX-centric nature of most tools. I don't like heavier markup systems while I am writing prose, which is why I wrote SpiralWeb (https://github.com/michaeljmcd/spiralweb) as a Pandoc/Markdown centric tool.

There are some Rust tools for it such as https://github.com/pnkfelix/tango and https://github.com/nickpascucci/verso.

Noweb – A Simple, Extensible Tool for Literate Programming
https://github.com/nickpascucci/verso works like this. There's a syntax for creating tags in source files, and exposition for tags lives in a separate file.
What are some alternatives?
